5.3 Configuring Data Catalog
Data Catalog (DC) serves as a central repository or logical layer within the STSA ecosystem.
DC allows registering of various data assets, which are essential components for conducting stress testing and scenario analytics within financial services. Data assets include various types of data such as tables, files, and databases that are registered within the Data Catalog. This registration process involves providing metadata and other relevant information about each data asset.
DC serves as a logical layer on top of the physical and logical layers for STSA application. It provides a unified and organized view of the underlying data assets, regardless of their location or format. Within DC, logical metadata is mapped to the physical metadata across different applications or data sources. This mapping ensures that you can easily understand and access the data assets as and when required, regardless of their underlying structure or origin.
DC plays a crucial role in managing and organizing data assets within STSA by providing a centralized repository, logical layer, and metadata mapping capabilities. This enables you to effectively utilize and analyze data for stress testing and scenario analytics while ensuring data consistency and quality.
